I moved first.
“Wait,” I said. “Wait, your Excellency.”
I bowed as low as I could.
My legs quivered due to the effort from earlier in the day.
“I offer myself to you,” I said, the words turning sour even as they formed in my mouth. “As a sweetener for the deal. Give us the shuttlecraft and I will spend the night with you.”
“Agatha…” Egara said.
I blocked him out and took another step forward.
Piggy moved to stop me but a glance at his master, who pinched his fat lips between his flabby fingers and nodded.
Piggy stepped to one side and let me pass.
Egara growled and attempted to follow me.
I turned back on him and threw out an arm.
“Don’t touch me,” I said. “I am no longer your property. Tonight, I am his.”
I put all my love and fear for his safety into my expression.
He alone knew me well enough to understand why I was doing this.
“Please,” he said. “Don’t.”
I couldn’t bear to hear those words from him.
I turned on my heel and approached the platform.
The slaves formed steps and I climbed up them.
I looked up at Draw, who wore a snarl of excitement.
A shiver of disgust crawled across mine.
I lowered my hand to his sweaty leg and gently massaged it.
I tried to ignore the varicose veins.
“One night,” I said, “and I will give you everything you ever dreamed of.”
Draw’s eyes bored into mine and his lip curled into a grin of satisfaction.
Not least because of the effect my deal had on Egara.
“Very well,” he said.
I wasn’t sure if I was pleased or not with his decision but for better or worse, the deal had been made.
Draw pulled me into his lap and felt at my chest as his platform turned and carried us toward the cigar-shaped building.
I couldn’t bring myself to look Egara in the eye but before we disappeared inside, I glanced back over my shoulder at him.
Piggy shoved him toward the external hatch.
